Course Overview
• This course introduces a new discipline in data
hiding called Digital Watermarking which has
gained widespread popularity as a research
topic only in the latter half of the 1990s. It
provides overview of recent advances in
watermarking of image, video, and audio.
Different schemes of digital watermarking will
be discussed and demonstrated using MatLab.
